This two-in-one biography that can be started from either end juxtaposes stories of two brave Pakistani children: Malala, whose campaign against the Taliban's prohibition on schooling for girls led to her being shot; and Iqbal, a young boy murdered in mysterious circumstances after he became a well known opponent of the system of bonded labour in which he had been effectively enslaved from the age of four until he was rescued at the age of eleven. The picture book format and simple text are well matched and offer two inspiring stories that introduce questions of human rights for the youngest readers.
